My misunderstanding, I thought you wanted them sortable... > The problem with something like AddDeleteLine is that it *deletes* > lines, where I don't want them deleted, I want them marked (say, with a > strikeout) to show that they're done. FOX does the same thing as ADL, afaik. It's conceivable you could do something like this with zap's find and replace feature, but I think there's probably a simpler way somehow.... Now that I see what you're after, I really think things will probably be much easier if you keep it data driven. Between PmWiki's text vars and pagelists, you can do a lot! If you're willing to dedicate one group for all your tasks, you could do it pretty easy with zap. One form creates the task and stores them in a task page coded by the date and perhaps a timestamp. In the page you pull in a pagelist of the various tasks for that day. In the pagelist template you put a checkbox before the task allowing you to select the name. Then embed the pagelist in a simple zap form that marks those tasks complete or incomplete. (And use a conditional in the template to display the two differently). Other things you could add in, is you could assign a task to any date from some page and have it appear there automatically. You could also set it to reassign dates, or edit a task by simply clicking a link to the task and putting a zapform in the groupheader for the tasks group. Tasks could all be searchable, by date or whatever... This would be kind of fun. If you're willing to consider zap I might pull together a snippet for you. Shouldn't take more than an hour, and it looks like something that would be very useful.
